Form Field Progress Bar

This useful script allows you to restrict the number of characters inside a form element (ie: textarea) while displaying a progress bar on the remaining characters beneath it. A percentage of the characters remaining is displayed within the Progress Bar, updated live as the user types. Cross browser functional-works in IE4, NS6, and Opera 7 and above. The Progress Bar can easily be applied to multiple form elements within the form, each with its own independent setting. Visual aspects of the Progress Bar customizable via CSS.
